5.0 out of 5 stars Otter box protects!, April 11, 2010

This review is from: Otterbox Commuter Case for the Motorola Droid [Retail Packaging] (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I recently changed the case on my droid from the Seidio Innocase to the otter box. The Seidio case is a great case. Fits well and feels great in your hands. Its made out of a non slip plastic that is really nice. I had no complaints with it, but I wanted to get something that offered a bit more protection. So I got the otter box and I am not disappointed!

The otter box has two main differences over the Seidio case. First, it has a rubber lining covered by plastic for the main case. The rubber cradles the phone and is exposed on the sides which should provide more impact cushining. The top cover is very similar to the Seidio case and probably offers the same protection as the Seidio case.

Secondly, it has plugs for the charging and ear hone jacks. This is great since I keep my phone in my pocket and dust gets it the ports. It also has rubber buttons that go over the volume, camera, and unlock buttons providing some protection and more importantly, making it easier to use the buttons! The seidio case blocks the buttons a bit.

The only negative to the otter box is that it does not have the same non slip feel to it as the Seidio and is a tad bulkier.

So the bottom line is that if you are looking for the most protection, go for the otter box. Otherwise the Seidio case is cheaper and feels better and does offer some protection.

I got my Otterbox last Wednesday and have had it on my phone for about a week now...

Honestly, this is the best cell phone case I've ever seen, or owned for that matter. The fit and finish are perfect, very snug and very secure. The rounded corners and the high quality materials used in construction give the phone a great 'finished' feel, very solid. The power/sleep, volume and camera buttons all line up perfectly and make them much easier to use, especially the power/sleep. The covered ports are lined up dead on as well and do a great job of keeping dust and dirt out. The slider works flawlessly and is not hindered at all by the case... It slides open smooth and clicks back into place perfectly. Both the top and bottom pieces fit snug and secure; no issues at all with either feeling loose or coming off. Both feel like an integrated part of the phone.

Essentially, I love this case... highly recommended.

What a disappointment. After only a few weeks, the top piece of this case cracked with only a small amount of pressure. Below is the email I received from customer support. Needless to say, I would have thought Otter box would have pulled the product after this sort of thing was discovered. I grew up in Ft Collins and have always loved otterbox, this has seriously made me question buying one of their products EVER again.

OtterBox® has been diligently investigating our Commuter Series® case for the DROID/Milestone by Motorola. Some customers were experiencing case breakage around the top of the case, even after receiving replacement units. Following the evaluation of several devices we have found that those released over the past 2-3 months, after the design of our case, have variability in the top touchscreen portion of the device. Due to estimated industry lifecycle statistics, OtterBox will not be making changes to our case design. If you would like a refund we would be happy to accommodate you. We appreciate your understanding, and apologize for any inconvenience.

To proceed with a refund, please print this e-mail and send along with the damaged case to:

Please also include your full name, mailing address and phone number for us to process the refund.
